In0.2Co4Sb12 is a filled skutterudite compound—an intermetallic material where indium atoms are partially filled into the cage-like crystal structure of cobalt antimonide. This is a research-phase thermoelectric material being developed for solid-state heat-to-electricity conversion applications. The filled skutterudite family is notable for its ability to decouple electrical and thermal transport properties better than conventional thermoelectrics, making it attractive where traditional materials reach performance limits.
